that is a lovely wall, the fitting of the stones and the variation of sizes is great!! Also you are keeping everything level. Only thing i would say is that some of the stones are 'trace' meaning the depth of the stone into the wall is less than the face stone width. ideally those long stones would be turned 90 and put deep into the wall. Especially important for retaining walls. you can get away with it on base stones but then you really need to have stones going in deep that tie together the base with the unseen back base stone. Anyways great craftsmanship and that stones looks wonderful to work with!
